Freedom is very important to me, and I believe that it should be important to everyone. It is mostly protected by law in many countries around the world, and also internationally, but these protections often come with certain limitations. The problem with these limitations is that they erode these protections by moving them out of the realm of freedom and into the realm of oppression.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously made a profound observation that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," which inspired me on August 8th, 2015, to codify my attitude about freedom with the words "oppression anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere."
